• Ordered a few bits and peices, namely a downpipe antenna for the connection to HTP
• In the process of testing the WRT54G against the veritech/seano
• Node ECF is operational! Coverage is currently mainly over Altona Meadows

• Gradually getting around to building the waveguide, and getting the AP in order. Should be happening soon

• Mast & Waveguide ARE BEING BUILT!

• After getting the home wireless network working I am now in the process of collecting mast, another wireless card, low loss cabling, etc to join the wider community
